The Last Night of the Proms

BBC One
on BBC One London

James Naughtie introduces live coverage of the second half of tonight's concert from London's Royal Albert Hall.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Davis, performs Bernstein's Candide, before being joined by the BBC Singers and Symphony Chorus for Parry's Blest Pair of Sirens. Baritone Thomas Hampson sings a selection of Gershwin songs, and Terry Wogan introduces a recital in Hyde Park of Paganini's Caprice by violinist Tasmin Little.

Then it's back to the Royal Albert Hall for Thomas Ades's These Premises Are Alarmed, followed by the traditional finale, including Arne's Rule, Britannia! and Parry's Jerusalem.

The Royal Albert Hall Prom can also be heard on Radio 3.
